Christmas

yes folks, its the clapper.  I cant quite imagine what Santa Claus must have been thinking when he saw the clapper on their list.  Jack has wanted it ever since he saw it for the first time on TV.  The top picture is the weird folks from WWE, the Wyatt's are a group that i believe is from deliverance.  Real freaky.  The kids go nuts every monday and Friday and they are glued to the TV.  Its never quiet around here, especially during wrestling.

     Cat got her gymnastics bars from Santa....there goes Daddy's room that we just did over.  Jimmy got all his crazy Xbox games from Santa

  Laura enjoying all her weird gifts including a bacon bread bowl gift.....as seen on TV of course.

Christmas Eve

Poor Santa

     Poor Santa Claus....what he has to endure through the holiday season.....

We never posted for thanksgiving......2014

Oh yes, we did have a thanksgiving dinner...and what a dinner it was.  Aunt Jo had us all over her new place and there was only limited damage.  The food was spectacular..not that it isn't always, but for some reason, this years grub seemed that much better.

 

                      Just remember, its all about the cranberry sauce,...but only the real kind, with ridges in it

Cutting down our tree

     Its a wonderful new holiday tradition that we join the cousins cutting down our Christmas Tree.  This years tree was collectively picked out by the younger ones.  Its not the most beautiful tree by looks but because of its history its awesome.  We all parked near the entrance shack and loaded up in the rear of Jamie's pickup truck.  What memories riding around in the back of the pickup.  Imagine riding to and from the beach...or anywhere for that matter in the back of a pickup, sometimes standing.  One quick stop and we could have flown for a while.  ahhhhh, the memories.

     Each kid had the chance to get into the snow and take a turn at the saw.  Down it came.....such fun...though its scary to have Jackie handling anything that sharp isn't it.
